Walk For Wishes is one of two annual fundraising events Make-A-Wish® Southern Nevada hosts to help grant wishes to local children battling critical illnesses.

Walk For Wishes® is a nationwide Make-A-Wish® fundraiser that celebrates the Wishes that have already been granted, while raising funds for future wishes. It's a family-friendly event powered by wish families, volunteers, companies, donors and friends.

This year's event featured food and fun, appearances by superheroes and princesses, first responders, touch-a-truck, petting zoo, free painting for kids, giveaways, and so much more. KSNV News 3 morning anchors, Kim and Dana Wagner, as well Mercedes and JC from Mercedes in the Morning on Mix 94.1, cheered on the crowd during the 5k/1m event after the opening ceremony that included a surprise wish reveal!

The 2019 Walk For Wishes has raised more than $470,000 and counting to grant wishes! More than 150 volunteers, 40 vendors and 3,000 friends and neighbors woke up early to help bring hope, strength and joy to wish kids battling critical illnesses in Southern Nevada.
